I'm glad Ash got to keep Totodile. I think Ash needed it since he let his Squirtle return with the Squirtle Squad. I am also glad that Misty's Poliwag evolved into Poliwhirl. I thought it was an excellent idea to use Togepi to fight Pikachu. So far Pikachu has refused to fight against Misty both times thay have fought. I think it's cute how Totodile dances all the time.

I <3 May.

I do not do competitive battling and I really do not have any desire to. I also do not go out of my way seeking for shinies because I never really understood why they were so great anyways. All I truely enjoy pokemon contests, breeding, and in-game battling.

I think grass pokemon are the greatest ever and I take great pride in the ones I have raised. I also think that Chikorita is the most adorable pokemon ever!

Ah, this is one of my favorite Johto episodes ever. I love the way that both Ash and Misty were vying for Totodile, and that they had to battle over it was awesome. I also love how Misty sent Togepi to fight Pikachu, effectively eliminating the biggest threat against her team XD Ash gets a Totodile and Misty gets Poliwhirl, definitely a fair trade-off if you ask me. A fun episode with a satisfying ending

One of my favorite episodes in the 3rd season.
I really can't understand why Misty wanted that Totodile, especially when she had a Poliwhirl during the battle. After the evolution, she should have retired. Ash won it fair and square.

Looking back on the Johto series, and comparing how much Ash battled with Bayleef and Cyndaquil and the others compared to Totodile, I realize that Totodile wasn't really used that much...Not much for any of his major matches anyways....I disagree with the decision to let Ash have Totodile...it would've been better off with Misty...

Ash hasn't really called on it since he caught it for major matches, and at least with Misty it probably would be a Feraligatr now so...

I liked the outcome of the episode: Misty happy with Poliwhirl and Ash happy with Totodile. It was funny how Ash and Misty were fighting about it, and Togepi defeating Pikachu. When I saw this one for the first time, when Brock took the Lure Ball which contained Totodile, I thought he was going to keep Totodile himself... Ash and Misty had a good battle, it was nice to see them battling. All in all, great episode, just like all Jotho ones, 10/10.

Totodile was alittle too wacky for Misty. She already had high blood pressure with Psyduck.

It's Pichu!
It was so not fair of Ash to use them Pokémon against Misty. After Poliwag evolved, I thought it would have been more fair for Misty to have won. She should have won that Totodile. :< But for someone who doesn't battle a lot, she sure was a good opponent.

I love this episode!! nice to see Ash and Misty renew their rivalry, that began when they first met, and seeing Totodile, such a cute water pokemon was nice. Although to be honest, I think Misty should have kept Totodile. Why should Ash have all the starters? & second of all it's rotting in Oak's lab right now. If Misty had it she would train it to be strong & love it more than Ash would. But at least didn't make her sad about it, since her Poliwag evolved.

If Misty got Totodile, it would have gotten even less screen time and rot even more.

Not really. In that case she probably wouldn't catch Corsola with Totodile getting same amount of focus like her most active pokemon Corsola and Poliwhirl did. Which received more or less equal amount of focus as Ash Totodile did.

I think it was mistake to give Ash all three starters in Johto competing with his Kanto trio, which resulted in underdeveloped and poorly handled Johto team.

At least with Misty Totodile would have get better training since she is water trainer with water types being her specialty(Poliwhirl had bigger win record than Ash Totodile in JOhto), and actually have chance to evolve considering how it would likely be used in gym battles gaining experience. As opposite to rotting at Oaks lab.
